Trunac is indicated for:
Pharmacology
Clindamycin + Tretinoin is a combination of clindamycin phosphate, a lincosamide antibiotic, and tretinoin, a retinoid. Clindamycin binds with the 50s ribosomal subunit of susceptible bacteria. This stops the peptide chain from getting longer, because it interferes with the peptidyl transfer, and so bacterial protein synthesis is suppressed. Clindamycin inhibits the activity of Propionibacterium acne and reduces the occurrence of acne. Tretinoin decreases the cohesiveness of follicular epithelial cells and increases the turn over, and this brings the comedones out.
